Welcome to the Women's Fund for the Fox Valley Region, Inc., an organization working to create positive social change by funding programs that improve our community by investing in the unique needs and talents of women and girls. The Women's Fund pools together gifts both large and small from a broad base of donors to support our grants, education and advocacy work.
Worldwide, women and children are disproportionately represented among victims of violence, the poorest of the poor, and the uneducated. In the United States, 37 million people live below the poverty line—21 million of them are women. When you give a woman equal access to opportunity, her family and community will thrive.
Save the date for the Let's Dish Kickoff!
The Let's Dish Kickoff event will be held on Tuesday, February 21 at Johnathan's Bistro in Appleton. This event is for those who would like to host a Let's Dish awareness party, and also for those who would prefer to bring their friends to this event rather than have their own party. Visit our Events page for more details!

Women-owned businesses make up 24% of all businesses in the region (2007) - a percentage unchanged from 2002. The percent of businesses owned by women in our community (Northeast Wisconsin) is slightly below the statewide average of 26%. Nonetheless, the positive economic impact of women-owned businesses in the community is evident.
